National Journal: House GOP dominates fundraising
Vulnerable House Republicans dominated the fundraising quarter, according to National Journal:
“The 29 “Frontline” Democrats—those rated by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as most vulnerable—raised an average of $482,000 and entered the fourth quarter with an average of just under $1.1 million on hand.
The 25 National Republican Congressional Committee “Patriots,” the most endangered Republicans, raised an average of $639,000 and finished the quarter with an average of $1.6 million cash on hand.
Democrats have traditionally outraised Republicans in recent years, and the NRCC has continued to prioritize getting more hard dollars in candidates’ coffers.”
This is the third consecutive reporting period House Republicans dramatically outraised their Democrat colleagues:
- Axios: House GOP’s money machine
- NBC News: House Republican freshmen signal strong second-quarter fundraising
NRCC National Press Secretary Will Reinert said: “Money builds majorities, and Republican candidates continue to do everything needed to win next November.”
